Art of Suffering

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 20For 2,000 years the Catholic Church has laid a foundation for its members to find the narrow path that leads to heaven while also pointing out the pitfalls of our fallen nature that can lead to the wide path of perdition. Like, Jesus, it is both human and divine, and its fallible members both lay and clergy are not exempt from the pitfalls of imperfection. Human persons in the Church are not free from committing personal sins that impact not only themselves but those whom they encounter and serve. For the first time, Sarah Mary Toce reveals how the hurts she experienced from the human side of the Church could only be remedied, redeemed, and transformed by the sanctifying grace that flows from Her divine side.Subscribe/RateNever miss out on the inspiration and healing of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 19St. John Paul II states in Love and Responsibility, a blueprint for Theology of the Body, that the true measure of love we have for someone is the responsibility we are willing to take for them. In fact, “Man cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself “(Gaudium Et Spes). Dan and Emily Whiting share how each of them grew in their humanity within their courtship, engagement, and marriage and unite it to the three revealed parts of our human nature our design, our desires, and our destiny. Answering the three big questions each of us discovers as we grow into adulthood. Why I am here? What is my purpose? How can I be completely fulfilled in this life and continue that fulfillment throughout eternity in the next?Subscribe/RateNever miss out on the inspiration and healing of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 18The Catholic Church is bleeding out young people by the droves. Most millennials have not only abandoned the faith intellectually by age 13 but often bring that internal decision to reality by walking out within seven years of receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation in their early 20's. For the first time, Lauren Hadden shares her journey to Christ that was found in embracing her cross and finding freedom from the slavery of sins that had previously governed her life when she was the one sitting on the throne of her heart rather than Christ. As Matthew Kelly states in his book, I heard God Laugh – “The secret to supreme happiness is to strip away everything in your heart and set aside everything in your life that makes you less available to God, and then surrender yourself to His loving plan and cares.”Subscribe/RateNever miss out on the inspiration and healing of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 17Being a parent of any child in the world and culture we are living in is really a challenge that can become one of the greatest blessings if embraced. That truth is only magnified when one becomes the parent of a child with any type of special need. This is looking from the inside out as Brian Watkins, LEF Teacher of the Year 2020, gives a parents perspective on how this dynamic impacts them, their other children, and immediate family emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically.

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 16One of the most crushing things that can happen in the process of any pregnancy is an unexpected prenatal diagnosis of one's unborn child. All the excitement, celebration, and joy that is shared by the couple and their extended family at the announcement of a new life being brought into the world is suddenly overshadowed by fear, anxiety, awkward social encounters with those who are completely unaware of the internal state of mother, father, and extended family all while wrestling with the reality of the unknown that lies ahead. This was the journey of Dan and Emily Whiting while awaiting the birth of their daughter Charlotte, one that transformed them, their marriage, and everyone they encountered.Subscribe/RateNever miss out on the inspiration and healing of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 15 Recently I had a chance to sit down with Reed Streva, the host of the podcast Cajun Kingdom of Priest. I share in the same common priesthood of Jesus Christ as all validly Baptized Christians within the laity who have not been ordained to the Sacrament of Holy Orders. However, as the high priest of my domestic church, the one that consists of my wife and children I have been called to lay my life down for their eternal benefit just as Christ did for his bride the Church. Here's that interview and the way I responded to God's call to do just that. Subscribe/Rate Never miss out on the inspiration and healing of each episode by hitting the subscribe button RIGHT NOW!

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 14 Sometimes when we don’t know who we are, we can’t ever come to terms with who God is. Living a false narrative of what the world perceives us to be is much easier than the transformation that leads to becoming who Christ created us to be. As a young husband and father, I got so caught up being the main character in the story I was writing that I failed to realize I was just the supporting cast in the one God was. It became clear in the midst of my “yes” to the cross that what I did in this life didn’t define who I was now or will be in the next. This is the journey of how a young husband and father grew to understand that redemptive suffering in and through Jesus Christ is the only path one can take to achieve personal holiness.

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 13 With the cloud of the sexual abuse scandals, diminishing numbers of Mass attendees, poor Evangelization and Catechesis efforts by the clergy and laity alike, the Coronavirus, and the secularization of American and its mantra for tolerance for everything except an authentic Christian worldview, it’s not hard to see why adult converts to the Catholic faith are diminishing. That’s what makes Anber Sims, who faced multiple crosses before, during, and after her choice to enter the Catholic Church and her personal story that much more powerful. It’s no wonder that the beauty of redemptive suffering spoke so deep in her heart that it spurred a decision to leave behind the faith tradition of her youth in a relentless pursuit of the fullness of truth.

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 12 We all can be instruments of God that make His presence and work in the lives of others more visible to them while simultaneously bringing them closer to full union with God Himself. However, special needs children possess an unparalleled ability to do this that far exceeds the natural plain of common human encounter. The unsolicited responses and jaw-dropping affirmations from random individuals across the country who encountered our family’s journey gave tangible evidence to the bold claims I had made regarding the limitless power the right story could have on all of society. Plus an unbelievable story of a bona - fide miracle through the intercession of Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos that saved Eli's life Easter weekend of 2011.

Art of Suffering Show Notes: Episode 11 We all have giants to face our life, and many times they come at the most unexpected or inconvenient times possible. When facing the fear of the unknown we can choose to trust in God or lose hope and dependent only on ourselves.

Art of Suffering Show Notes - Special Episode 10 What is your greatest fear? What if it became your reality? Have you ever been overwhelmed? Often when that happens there is a natural tendency to remove ourselves from those situations so that the tension, anxiety, and constant discomfort, either physical or mental is more than we can bear. For some, these circumstances could lead one away from God for good, while in others it relentlessly pushes them into His arms. Often, when life gets too hard to stand, we have to kneel and surrender all trusting in God’s providence in faith believing He can take what the world would say is a tragedy and turn it into triumph. An unborn baby with a disability becomes God’s instrument to draw his father, immediate family, and an entire Catholic high school community into union with Himself.

Art of Suffering Show Notes - Episode 9 Fran Hampton was your average everyday American teenager in the mid 1970’s. Dating a high school sweetheart and being in love she suddenly found herself pregnant. With the advent of the 1973 Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade she had an option not available to other women only a few years earlier to choose abortion. A devout Catholic and supported by family, she chose the path less traveled and carried her unborn child to birth and offered him to be adopted. Some thirty years later, providence, prayer, and the Hand of God brought mother and son back together and help mend wounds and inner doubts for mother and son after the decision to let him have a better life with another family. Adoption, the forgotten option, is a story of immeasurable love displayed by a mother that during an unexpected pregnancy puts her child’s needs above her own.

Art of Suffering Show Notes - Episode 8 Statistics from 2019 indicate that 5.8 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s or a form of dementia. Psychological test show that primary care givers, because of the constant mental and physical strain on their person, have a much higher tendency to develop general anxiety disorder or depression. This act of self-sacrificial love united to the cross of Christ can have immense redemptive value for those who embrace this opportunity and for others who witness it. John Listi, the Director of Parish Renewal and Evangelization for St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church and Catholic Charismatic Renewal Ministries for the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana, shares this journey and the amazing transformation that has occurred within himself and his immediate family in their walk with his father toward his eternal home.

Art of Suffering Show Notes - Episode 7 Greg Broussard was your average American man talking the talk of the secular culture and walking that walk. Measuring his overall identity not by who he truly was but rather by what he had personally accomplished. Losing sight of what mattered most in his life and pursuing his own happiness at the expense of his wife and children while fighting his own personal addiction cost him everything. His personal cross led to finding redemption in personal accountability, holy masculine friendships, and a new life in Christ coming to terms with the truth that what he did doesn’t define who he is. Today, he is flourishing as a single father who has built his life around God, his kids, and working out his salvation walking in holiness and with others through Divorce Recovery Ministry at Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church operating through The Office of Marriage and Family Life and the Diocese of Lafayette.

Art of Suffering Show Notes - Episode 6 One in every three American children is now growing up in a home without their biological father. Dustin Bertrand has defied all of these odds including never knowing his biological father, growing up in the deep south amidst the lingering effects of racism as a biracial man, and fighting a subconscious lie that because he was unplanned, he wasn’t wanted. Through the grace of God, instead of becoming another statistic, he has courageously allowed God the Father to transform him into the person he is today not in spite of those circumstances, but rather because of them.

Art of Suffering Show Notes - Episode 5 50% of young people who have been raised Catholic today have left the Church and joined the ranks of the religiously unaffiliated. Ashley Fox, a millennial, initially did the same by taking a journey through various Eastern religions, ancient philosophies, New-Age spirituality, and Christian denominations earnestly seeking the fullness of Truth, which ironically lead her back to the very place she first walked away from, the Catholic Church.
